They didn't succeed!

I started this day upbeat and feeling totally nutty and that is how it will end too because I have just got back from a lovely evening at the Boston Clipper with friends and feel great ... to be honest, such is my totally weird (but I am not complaining) mood that I could have sat there all evening talking to myself and would have enjoyed myself!

To do a quick update on the Autoglass saga ... my insurers are not amused about what Autoglass have done and neither, it seems, are Autoglass head office. It appears they broke most rules that existed, one major one was not checking the car before they started to do any work to it and not getting me to sign anything until 4 days after they started to do any work ... therefore, they technically didn't have permission to touch it and probably cannot argue that the dent was there prior to their messing about with it, they didn't check, they have no proof. In fact, I didn't sign the document until after they messed it up on Saturday so they didn't even check the bodywork then prior to work. I really feel they are going to have a tough time winning this one unless they fiddle the paperwork and that would be just plain stupid!

But, as the title says, they didn't get to me, I really don't feel any worse now than I did when I woke up this morning, apart from a brief glitch earlier, today has been a really good one!

Budget Day

So, we have the ‘Let’s buy a whole host of gullible voters day’ with George Osborne. No doubt we’ll be told how employment is rising, how the deficit is falling, how we’re all so much better off now than we were (compared to what?). We’ll be told that there are still tough times ahead but that only a Conservative government can steer us through them. It will be pointed out how inflation remains low, how not raising duty on fuel has helped everyone as is seen by the current lower prices at the pumps (it’s going up again George). In short, I should listen to this budget later and decide to vote Conservative in May but, I won’t. Labour certainly did nothing to avoid the mess the country got in but they didn’t cause it. They made the mistake of trying to be too conservative, allowing high finance the freedom to cause a catastrophic cock up for which they took zero responsibility. They made the mistake of allowing Gordon Brown to take the job of Prime Minister, one for which he is totally...

Oh dear

The good news is that it could possibly be Jermaine will be moved into his lovely new flat within 6 weeks. Matt is another story. His apology earlier was rather pathetic. He's still not really said sorry to either Daisy or Deej and, indeed, seems to think saying sorry to anyone is more important than being with his mates. He has a set of rules now, in writing and he's been told that if he deviates from it just once he best have somewhere else to live. We shall see. I don't hold out much hope but there is still a little inside of me, I need to believe there is good in him ... for now. Car - still not sold Looked at Nick's new place the other day. It's small but not so much as I feared it may be and could be made to look real nice with a little effort and thought. I know how I'd do it but it's up to Nick how he does it and I am looking forward to seeing the end result. Loads of work still to do at Robin's of course but at least he is up and running again o...
